We have dodged all of the snow so far, so we're pushing ahead as fast as possible with a simple strategy: best in our district at 1 thing.
Drive train frame parts were CNC'ed, cut and off to welding.
Drive train gearboxes were assembled, debugged, and tuned until they pull barely more current than the CIMs are supposed to at free speed.
Mechanisms prototypes are complete and self-powered (motor/gearbox connected).
Completed Crayola CAD for mechanisms so space integration has started.
Electronics layout is generally complete.
Programmers are using last year's practice bot to do motion profiling, drive straight, multiple drive configurations for different drivers, comms, and other such shenanigans. They may beg/plead/borrow/steal for 900's game piece vision tracking...
We should be able to survive a week of snow delays and still produce a quality robot.
